58. 5 SECTION 1 BART TRANSIT SYSTEM Traction sub stations transform and rectify the 34 5 KV AC to 1000 Volts DC and feed it to the third rail The running rails act as a negative return at ground potential POWER CABLES Two types of cable are used to transmit 34 5 KV power Their insulated wrappings and the way they are carried along the BART right of way distinguish each type of cable e Sealed Pipe In one instance the cables are contained in a 4 inch welded steel pipe sealed and pressurized with nitrogen gas to prevent moisture intrusion This type of installation is found beneath aerial structures in subways and in tunnels The pipe and its cables present very little hazard and even a directly impinging fire and would rarely necessitate cutting off electric power A hissing noise from the pipe would indicate a leak of the pressurizing gas Notify BART of this condition e PILC Paper Insulated Lead Covered This type of insulation is used in cable buried underground immediately adjacent to grade level track ways and is protected with a concrete cover THE THIRD RAIL The third rail is constructed in sections throughout the system These sections can vary in distance from 150 feet to several miles Each section is identified with a section number There is a physical gap between each section to allow part of the third rail to be de energized without shutting down the entire system The third rail consists of a steel l beam with al

AC There are seven switching stations one is located in San Francisco Power is transmitted from the switching stations by cable to traction substations located at BART passenger stations and both entrances to the Transbay Tube Traction sub stations require special consideration because the transformers contain combustible oil A transformer rupture might result in a combined oil electrical fire However indoor transformers are sufficiently diked to contain a full oil spill Outdoor transformers have drainage ditches and sumps capable of holding the entire oil content of a transformer in the event of rupture BART Operations and Control Center OCC has the ability to monitor and de energize some but not all electrical circuits within a substation transformer In the event of a sub station transformer fire a qualified BART electrician will be immediately dispatched to the fire location If Fire Department personnel arrive before the electrician it is BART s recommendation that no water be used on substation transformer equipment until advised by a BART electrician that the equipment is de energized This procedure will reduce the potential risk of exposing firefighters to an electrical shock hazard Trains operate on 1000 Volts direct current DC that it receives from the third rail through out the entire system tunnels tubes elevated and grade level track ways It will also support power for lights and electro mechanical equipment 1
